I wish it didn’t bother me. If details didn’t matter, I’d have bought the lemans Daytona by now but again the 12 hour chrono bugs me even though I have no use for a 24 hr chrono. It’s irrational
I think the 24hr chapter ring is what killed it for me. It's silly but having that reminder is why I didn't get the GMT

10 is where I’m at as well :)
Bored of Daytonas now? Haha. I love Panerai. Used to hate them but once you get one on wrist you understand why. And it looks so different to any watch so 1-2 Panerais is a must have in any collection.

You need a manual wound PAM!

Waiting for two custom Daytonas (active orders) and for Clean to fix the 126506 and maybe a lemans if it’s ever done well.

Just dipping my toes in with PAM :)

You know what I need...
Xf pam 111 from hont goes for 218 usd. Insanely good price. That's less than a dinner with my S.O. And I've gotten more enjoyment out of that 111 than any 200 dollar dinner lol

Don't really follow Hont's telegram haha, was it a deal or something?

I'd caution about those 24hr QCs, QC them very carefully.... *cough* Hont

Oh yeah, this one was a little sketch. A new ZF Tudor Pelagos Titanium 39mm is available for pre-order.
I did message him about a 111. Goddam you.

Speaking from personal experience owning the gen LR strap, the difference is not drastic enough to make it a 'must have' expenditure. I personally like the gen, because I'm a stickler for the little details. But for the $325 cost, you could buy another watch.


The red bit on the rep strap looks much more shiny than the one on the gen. Is it just the angle or is the material actually more reflective?

I appreciate your posts, very informative 👍

The rep definitely has a higher gloss finish. The color and lettering is the biggest difference overall. But again, I feel like VSF really did a great job with the strap on this one.

comfort wise i have no complaints about the rep strap but the color of the strap and the print is so much nicer on gen. FML

Looks amazing just the fish eye is bit noticable. Rotor noise is acceptable. Strap is comfortable but I already have few straps incoming. Sunburst :love:

It's strange that VSF still not fixed the number "30" on the bezel, it is a bit off for almost every - or even every 42mm SUB Model i see here (not only Luna Rossa Line) - was the same on my PAM683 (42mm) which i got around March this year.
